Twinkle: The New App Store App from Tapulous
Tapulous, a great, independent iPhone developer group, released hours ago the long-awaited Twinkle app. Twinkle is free, much better in my opinon than Twitterific, the previous main Twitter client for the iPhone. As any previous Twittering jailbreaker would know, Twinkle was available unofficially through the Installer.app before the 2.0 update.
Twinkle announcements reveal that they are not thinking of an updated jailbreak version, so switching to the 2.0, yet to be hacked, is the only way to install this awesome app. It boasts improved geolocation and image posting. My tries at posting images have failed, but Tapulous already acknowledges this, and has already started on a fix.
Some pictures of this great app:
Twinkle’s “Home” page shows you and your friend’s Tweets.

Twinkle’s new Tweet interface.
Twinkle’s “Messages” page shows direct messages to you.
Overall, I found Twitter to be a great app. It is a beautiful first-generation App Store application. It has some bugs, especially when replying and posting pictures. Don’t worry though, Tapulous is working on these. Also, the fact that you have to have a Tapulous account would faze some users, I didn’t have problems because I had made an account for Tap Tap Revenge, another Tapulous app.
If at first you don’t find the app in the App Store, follow this direct link (either on your PC or your iPhone/iPod touch, both open the App Store): http://tinyurl.com/62ejbu
